lyrics
Maypole, by The Midnight
And Dancing In The Shadow
When The Season Is Close To Dark
And Dancing In The Light
When The Sun Has Just Began
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Fools And The King
Singing In The Wind
And Dancing In The Moonlight
Round And Round Close To Dark
And Laughing In The Sun
When The May Has Just Begun
The Time Has Come And Go
For The Pleasant Merry Fair
The Minstrels And The Queen
Lay Down In The Green
Chorus:
Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La
And Dancing In The Darkness
Followin’ The Rays Of Light
And Shining In The Night
When The Moon Has Just Begun
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Night Has Comin’ Down
In The Fairy Town
Chorus:
Maypole Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La
And Dancing In The Shadow
When The Season Is Close To Dark
And Dancing In The Light
When The Sun Has Just Began
The Time Has Come To Go
To The Peasant Merry Fair
The Fools And The King
Singing In The Wind
Chorus:
Maypole Maypole Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La -La ,La -La
Maypole, Maypole, Maypole, La -La -La , La–La
The Midnight were formed in 2003, a Tuscany-based Folk-Medieval-Fantasy band of minstrels.The choice to be called "Midnight"
